I had forgotten about him, and how the msm had painted him as misunderstood blah blah....until I heard an interview on radio last night with one of Begg's long-time friends in England, commenting on Beggs' arrest.

"He
is a very calm, very articulate sort of person so to suggest he would
go off and raise a kalishnakov (sp?) is out of character..."...He is an advocate...

It is well known that a huge percentage of the GITMO grads return to their old ways. It is also well documented (here and other places) that Syria is a magnet for foreigners who want the terrorist training offered there, so they can return to their own countries and raise hell. This is not news.As part of the Beggs focus on CBC last night, they rebroadcast a clip of an interview they did with him after his release from GITMO. Interesting on a number of levels, not least of which was his telling his knowledge of Omar Khadr. Khadr and Beggs seem to be cut from the same cloth: both misunderstood.

As noted above, Beggs raked in the money, after successfully suing the British government. Khadr obviously paid attention, since he is currently suing the Canadian government for $60m. (Yes, million.) As POTUS MIC continues trying to close GITMO, and releases all those misunderstood residents, we will be seeing more of these stories.PAY ATTENTION.
